Discover Tauplitz & the Ausseerland

Tauplitz sits in the Ausseerland–Salzkammergut, one of the most beautiful corners of Austria — a landscape of turquoise lakes, limestone peaks and storybook villages, much of it UNESCO World Heritage. Here is what awaits you.

Tauplitzalm & the Six Lakes

On your doorstep

One of the largest high plateaus in the Alps (1,650–1,965 m). The famous Six-Lakes Walk (6-Seen-Wanderung) winds past the Steirersee, Großsee, Schwarzensee, Tauplitzsee, Krukensee and the tiny Märchensee ("Fairytale Lake"). Reach the plateau by chairlift or the scenic toll road.

Tip: about 3–4 hours, suitable for fit families. Combine with lunch at a Alm hut.

Grundlsee & the Three-Lakes Tour

~25 min

The largest lake in Styria, the "Styrian Sea". Take the classic Three-Lakes Tour by traditional wooden boat: Grundlsee → the mysterious Toplitzsee (sunken wartime treasure legends) → the remote Kammersee, source of the river Traun.

Tip: combine the boat tour with a lakeside lunch in Gössl.

Hallstatt – UNESCO Heritage

~45 min

Perhaps the most photographed village in the world, clinging to a steep mountainside above its lake. Visit the world's oldest salt mine, ride up to the Skywalk "Welterbeblick" for the iconic view, and see the curious Bone House beside the church.

Tip: arrive early morning or late afternoon to beat the day-trip crowds.

Dachstein & Krippenstein

~40 min

Cable car from Obertraun up to Krippenstein and the thrilling 5 Fingers viewing platform over a sheer drop. Explore the Dachstein Ice Cave and Mammoth Cave, or head for the glacier with its suspension bridge and "Stairway to Nothingness".

Tip: bring a warm layer — the ice caves stay cold all summer.

Bad Aussee & Altaussee

~20 min

Bad Aussee, at the geographic heart of Austria, is famous for its spring Narzissenfest (Daffodil Festival). Nearby Altaussee has a stunning lake, the dramatic Loser Panoramastraße, and a salt mine that hid looted artworks during WWII.

Tip: drive the Loser Panoramastraße for jaw-dropping lake views.

The Kulm – Ski Flying Arena

~10 min

One of the largest ski-flying hills on the planet, near Bad Mitterndorf. Periodically hosts the Ski Flying World Championships — athletes fly over 200 m through the air. Even out of season, the scale is breathtaking to see.

Tip: a flying competition is an unforgettable spectacle to watch live.

Bad Mitterndorf & GrimmingTherme

~5 min

Your nearest town for shops, cafés and restaurants — and home to the GrimmingTherme thermal spa. Perfect for soothing tired muscles after a mountain day, all under the gaze of the Grimming, the "lonely giant" peak of the region.

Tip: the ideal rainy-day option — indoor pools, saunas and relaxation areas.
